Putting The Art In Artificial Intelligence: Photos Now a Twitterbot named @DeepDrumpf has harnessed the quintessence of Trump’s locution and is cranking out Tweets that are suspiciously Donald-like. It was built by Bradley Hayes, a postdoc from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, who borrowed an algorithm from a technique in the field of artificial intelligence called deep learning. The technique gives a computer the ability to find patterns and essentially learn the way a human brain does. Hayes fed words into the algorithm taken from transcripts of Trump’s debate performances as well as speeches he made after winning states in the primaries. The algorithm then…
